Step 2. Employee resource management of engineering company

Employee resource management is an effective strategic business practice that ensures employee resources and employee development are aligned with the mission, vision, and values of the engineering company. Employee resource management also plays a crucial role in achieving better workforce regulation. In this context, the business software solution for the engineering company should enable the managers to organize personnel and define clear goals that can be attained by the existing workforce and resources. VIP Task Manager provides managers of the engineering company with required tools for managing and evaluating task performance, and identifying an employee's behavioral gaps.

Adding resources

In Resource List View managers of the engineering company can add new resource or edit existing ones. A resource has the following details: name, email, department, job title, address, phone, and password. All created resources can be grouped by department or job title to get more handy resource view. Once resource has been created, employee gets personal protected assess to the company database.

Assigning supervisor

VIP Task Manager allows to make supervision of tasks performance by receiving notifications within the application or by email. Supervisor can be assigned in tab "Watch List". For example, The Drilling Manager is responsible for drilling team and should be aware of all their tasks. When creating resource "Drilling Manager", in "Watch List" tab there should be checked all resources that are concerned to drilling team tasks.

Setting permissions

VIP Task Manager enables to hide tasks or restrict access to them. For example, the tasks of financial department should be divided from tasks of quality assurance department because they are different and employees shouldn't digress from assigned task list. In permission panel the manager of engineering company can set permission to tasks and task groups to every resource. The available permission values are: view, edit and delete. The manager decides weather a resource should view, edit or delete tasks of other resources or departments.

For example, the manager can create role "Drilling operator" and assigned to that role all resources involved in drilling works. The role can be customized in permissions panel.
